Reminds me... The standard has this (and more) to say about these sort of modelines in input files - "The standard developers believed strongly that an editor should not by default interpret any lines of a file. Vendors are strongly urged to delete this feature from their implementations of ex and vi." Basically, they consider it to be a security risk. This conflicted with toybox's coding standard that says we should include a specific modeline. I don't see any security risk in setting tab stops. shrugs On the other hand, I'm happy to leave modeline support out of the editor I'm working on if toybox no longer needs it in source files. Perhaps your version of whatever vi clone you are using has dropped modeline support to meet the standard? -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
